Nigerian actor, producer, and lawyer Richard Mofe Damijo has acknowledged that it can be difficult to be faithful in a marriage.
RMD, as the renowned thespian is commonly referred to, made the admittance to comedian, show host and actor, Teju Oyelakin aka Teju Babyface on one of the episodes of his podcast. DeepDive TejuBabyface.
When Teju inquired about how difficult it is to be faithful in a marriage, RMD said that it is difficult, particularly for performers.
“It is hard (to be faithful in marriage) because if you are in the line of work that we are in it is very hard because let’s face it, everyone of us that is married, we are the target,” he began. “I mean look at how women are. How can you escape it? Women are like Delilah, they are like Jezebels, they prepare and the only way you can perpetuate the real intentions of the enemy is to constantly aim at the image of God or the symbol of authority in any home. You shoot it down, it’s like being a general or a commander in a battlefield, you drop him and the battalion scatters.”
Continuing, RMD said, “It’s very difficult and you have to get to a point where your wife understands what she’s up against as well because if your wife is not up to speed on what she’s up against, then your flanks would be left open. So, if there’s no harmony on that field.. I saw TD Jakes speak about this and I was so impressed. He said if you wanna know who’s got my back, jump me. It spoke to me and for me, that is what defines my life. You can’t touch my family and if I can react the way I react if you touch my family, then my family is got to be able to react the same way.”
RMD and Teju got to know each other on the set of Tade Ogidan’s popular movie “Diamond Ring,” where they both played father and son and Sola Sobowale played mother and wife.
